Ventura County Farmworker Vaccination Project helps protect essential workers from COVID-19
OXNARD, Calif. - Farmworkers with Good Farms in Oxnard were among the first to take part in the Ventura County Farmworker Vaccination Project.

“There is a great opportunity for us because we work closely with about 10 other people daily, so for all of us to be vaccinated is a great benefit,” said farmworker Edgar Bautista.
Farmworkers are not yet eligible for vaccines based on the state s distribution phases, but public health leaders say getting at least some of them vaccinated is critical.
